Still just playing out the other side, which is: What's new? They do it all the time, just not on such a grandiose scale. Mandatory paid sick leave? Hell, no. Maternity leave? Fuck off with that nonsense. Increase the minimum wage? Nah, market sets the "fair" wage. Pregnant with a kid you can't possibly afford to birth or raise? Suck it up, slut. Start another stupid war? Hell, yeah!
I'm probably (definitely) trending in a direction that belongs in the poli-forum so I'll cut it there and say this:
If you are fortunate to NOT be terribly economically harmed by this, help wherever and however you can. Support your local food banks, help out a neighbor that can't get out of the house, share with those who don't have enough. Suspend your judgment and do some good in the world, regardless of whether or not they "deserve" it. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind.
If we are all relying on the government to save us, we are definitely properly fucked, so let's make that need for governmental help as minimal as possible.
You had me at "suck it up slut"
